Who is who in the picture?

Maybe Andersson is in over Mantha because "Zetterberg runs the team" and he wanted his Swedish teammate to play? I mean when Holland makes a statement "Anthony Mantha was just a spare part in the AHL" you know that's got to be the evil Zetterberg (muhahaha) writing Holland's script to the press. "Kenny either you bring Andersson in for Mantha or I'll play even worse than I have been" - Zetterevilberg.

I think the lines are great.

LGW !!! TIME FOR REVENGE BABY!!

There's different settings. He probably has it so that his door knob only twists from the inside and not from outside so he never has to worry about locking his door. Just in and out easy and it's pre-set to always being locked to the outside world. Only way to ever get in is the key.

^ you don't need a key to lock your door from the outside. You can lock your door inside ( twist a knob) and walk out and it will stay locked Lock technology has changed for decades now. It's why so many folks lock themselves out of their hourse

He distracted us and them more. Lol.

Hank runs this damn team. Strip the "C" off that guy!!!!! Z is the dictator in that club.. there's no democracy, that's probably why Datsyuk wants to leave. ^ I think that's the narrative that I've seen lately from one or two people. Anyways. I don't know about you guys but the Mitch Albom article seems more distracting than was intended to be. Folks in the media are talking more about about Pav leaving than that actual first round. Even the interviews with the players all were about Datsyuk today.

The bottom seed team that has a tendency to exit first round.

. Its like he was teasing us then we got blind sided

Feel like we should wait till July. Nothing is official yet. He might stay.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2016/04/agent_still_a_chance_pavel_dat.html More info from Datsyuk's agent today. "It's been very difficult for Pavel the last three years to come back (to the U.S.)," Milstein said. "The summers are short. After he gets to Russia there is less than two months. Originally he wasn't going to (say) anything until after the meeting with Ken and ownership but the rumors started and it became a big distraction. Pavel made the decision that fans and teammates needed to hear it now so they can all continue in the playoffs. He wanted to be truthful and honest with the fans."

If I read the article correctly .. His older daughter who is 13 years old lives in Russia with his first wife. His baby daughter lives in the U.S with his current wife. He wants to go back for his older daughter who has entered the teenage part of her life. Probably one of the most important times to have a father around. But yeah a daughter who is 13 moving to the U.S for only a year would be a bad idea.

The article stated he wanted to leave after last season finished and met with the Illitches who convinced him to stay. Shortly after he left for summer break to Russia. The ankle started to get worse in Russia and he had to immediately come back to the US and do the surgery.

Now it makes sense why the org made this video after he was comin back from injury earlier this year. Talk about suckin up!

From a practical stand point... Dump his contract to Arizona and go hard after Stamkos. Cry.

Should change the thread title. This is no longer a rumor. SLAVERY??? did you realy just call it that. It's a contract he signed willingly. Welcome to the 21st century... Contracts are a common thing even for us average folks you know.

Flyers = Oilers? Caps = Wings?

Does it effect the Illitch family or is it a scratch on the wallet?

Are you guys sure this is Holland or rather the Illitches who want Datsyuk's contract to stay with the org? I mean it looks like both Mike and Marian were pretty involved in getting him to stay here another season last year.

Yep he's leaving. That was a very very sad artcle.

Home stretch here. Take your pick for leading total POINT scorer. Here is the thread from last years season and the results - http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/topic/77271-leading-point-scorer/?hl=%2Bleading+%2Bscorer

If on LTIR next season it doesn't count towards the cap

He had 19 goals in the season. 19 or 20 more or less he's a 20 goal scorer. Your point/post is kinda nullified lol.
